One of the few positive outcomes from Jan 6th is that those violent and dangerous dimwits took selfies of themselves breaking several federal laws, helping law enforcement to lock them up. Pardons let the crazies out, but they are as much a danger to themselves, and to Republicans, as to Democrats.
Did they deport or disappear all the hispanic ranch hands ? Have crony speculators bought up all the ranch land ? Maybe too many of the meat-packers were killed by Covid. Something doesn't add up, supply-demand suggests that beef production in the U.S. ought to be increasing.
OK, but why a shortage of US domestic beef in the first place ? There are high prices. Soya & corn feed ought to be cheap due to China buying from Argentina instead. Hardly any US beef is exported to Europe because it is hormone treated. Ozempic users are being urged to eat protein instead of carbs,
Yes he is, the same guy. Convicted of obstruction, making false statements, and witness tampering. Sentenced to 40 months, he was pardoned during Trump's first term. Nevertheless a completely untrustworthy political goon and a proven liar.
Yes, and the use of such a bogus photo by a high US official strongly implies the absence of any actual evidence of a crime (except the extrajudicial murders of hispanic boat passengers).
No because I'm not resident in Ireland anymore. Anyhow the two best candidates seem to have come through the selection process, I could see either of them performing the role with the dignity and discretion it needs, and best of luck to them.
If it cost a fortune to build, and is useful for indoor functions or receptions then keep it. Parts of Buckingham Palace are really quite hideous, and I can understand why Charles doesn't live in a place decorated with red wallpaper and carpets and gold furniture, but it serves a ceremonial purpose.
Yes, demolishing the east wing to build a ballroom is one of the least dangerous and least obnoxious things he has done as president. I'm OK with him building some expensive, tacky Mar-a-Lago piece of kitsch. That can be undone. Taking away the right to vote can't be undone (not peacefully anyhow).
Still making my mind up which search engine is best for my purposes. I used to have a lot of respect for Google, and in one way I still do admire it. Pulling out of China after the Chinese government hacked GMail was an admirable move, and Google hasn't yet reinstated full direct access in China.
This really is a shameful, shocking and insulting move by Israel. Even British people who are normally broadly supportive of Israel will be disgusted by this violent fascist criminal, a false passport using imposter, a slanderer in contempt of court, and a mortgage fraud being lauded like this.
40% of mortgage products in the UK were withdrawn within two weeks. There are probably people who bought homes at that time or shortly afterwards who still paying higher mortgage rates for the next 25 - 30 years because of what Truss and Kwarteng did.
OK giving the benefit of the doubt. If gas prices, inflation and interest rates were surging or about to surge, was that really a good time to announce £45 billion of unfunded tax cuts and spending ? Surely that was a time postpone borrowing, tax the rich instead, and allow interest rates to lower.
They do. Even people who are not especially left leaning. Liberals, nationalists in Wales and Scotland, some centre-right, and environment greens often tactically lend their votes to left-wing parties to unseat the anti-immigrant far right. But will they vote for "island of strangers" Starmer ?
Tiny violin.🎻 Northern Ireland consumers are much less adversely affected than Marks and Spencer is. They have a choice of supermarkets including chains which distribute across the open land border. The Northern Ireland arm of one such retailer Dunnes Stores saw its profits more than treble in 2023.
England's politics (though not Scotland Wales or Northern Ireland) is a bit like an under 12s football match where almost all the kids cluster into one tiny corner of the pitch where the ball is. Disregarding the goals. 90% of MPs (except Lib Dems and Greens) are clustered into the far right corner.
Difficult to boycott a company, product or service that you never considered paying for even before they sponsored anti LGBTQ+ content. Except for Sky and Trailfinders I never heard of any of these (I guess that SunLife is an insurance company). I think you deterred almost all the well-known brands.
Bannon is a Nazi. Like Musk he performed a Nazi salute. He mimicked Musk's earlier Nazi salute. He did it to incite extremists white supremacists and antisemites in the GOP to racist violence. And it worked, leaked Telegram messages show how in the months since, Nazis took control of the GOP youth.
It is, and well done to all involved. I'm not American. I'm impressed at a peaceful and good-natured protest taking the limelight away from, and refuting the lies of, a well funded and media supported power grab by wealthy crooks. Right-wing U.S. billionaires are subverting European politics too.
A very expensive tunnel connecting a place where hardly anyone lives to another place where hardly anyone lives. If Elon Musk (who wants to go to Mars, and tunnel Teslas under Vegas) thinks that's a good use for his billions, I'd be delighted to see him try. Sooner he bankrupts himself the better.
He's a ranter at school principals, presidential candidates, and CoI bishops; and an ignorer of court injunctions, and a school trespasser. A tedious, egotistical and vexatious waster of court time and prison accommodation. He isn't Wolfe Tone or Michael Collins.
Wouldn't be the worst thing to have happened to an imprisoned royal if he did. The deposed monarchs Edward II and Richard II both had gruesome and untimely deaths in captivity.
